Rare Laszlo Posted December 21, 2022 #1 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Just found out our itinerary has changed and will be in St Thomas for 11 hours. Instead spending 3-4 hours at Megans Bay we (4) of us want to take the ferry over to St John. Trunk Bay looks very nice. We arrive at 7am and plan to get right off. Assuming taxies are right outside the dock that can take us to Red Hook? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms411 Posted December 21, 2022 #2 Share Posted December 21, 2022 There should be taxis at the dock by the time you get off the ship. IIWY, I would ask other shipmates to share a taxi going to Red Hook. If you can recruit 15+, the taxi may depart immediately instead of waiting for a full load. That way you'll get to the Red Hook ferry terminal quicker. You can purchase round trip tickets with credit card, but best to be prepared to pay cash, because, well, things happen. Be sure to purchase round trip tickets so you only stand in line on one end. Taxis will be waiting at St John dock to take you to Trunk. Fares have increased there, too by maybe $2 per person each way. Maybe $8 now? Taxis will be waiting at Trunk to return you to ferry dock. You may want to enjoy a drink or appetizer on St John before you return to the ship since you have so much time in port. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping to get off ASAP and get an 8am Ferry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms411 Posted December 21, 2022 #4 Share Posted December 21, 2022 That's assuming they let you off at 7. Customs/immigration can be a hold up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, we also might be waiting for friends who are not in the Haven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
